Engineers have developed a new soft, flexible device that makes robots move by expanding and contracting -- just like a human muscle. To demonstrate their new device, called an actuator, the ...

Multifunctional fluidic units generate coordinated motion and sensing in soft robots by combining actuation, switching, and oscillation in one module, reducing reliance on electronic control.

Researchers at Cornell University have been working on batteries that can 'flow' through the internal structures of robots, kind of like how blood in humans' veins powers our bodies. The team has been ...

The manta-inspired robot can swim up and down in the water column at speeds as high as 6.8 body lengths per second. A team of researchers has beaten its own record for the fastest swimming soft robot, ...
